Guo Huai's heart sank when he heard the chaos ahead, an army of 20,000 people, say too much, say a lot less, if in a prepared battle, Guo Huai asked himself not to lose to anyone,

But the enemy actually came so quickly, so suddenly, that he suddenly felt a heartache, and he couldn't help but cover his beating heart tightly with his hand.

Not good, I'm afraid there is a risk of annihilation this time.

When Zheng Gan abandoned Sanguan to greet him, he already felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly drove away this guy and asked him to hurry back to Sanguan to set up defenses, but he didn't expect to be a step slower.

Zixu, I hope you can resist it!

Guo Huai rode a fast horse to the front of the team, only to see that the banner of the Han army had been planted on the Sanguan, among the many flags, there was a red background painted gold flag the most eye-catching, only to see the dragon flying phoenix dance on it with a Zhao word, Guo Huai suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and said that he was really lucky, and he was actually blocked here by Zhao Hao.

Sanguan and Chen Cang are each other's horns, once Sanguan is attacked, Chen Cang can immediately send troops to relieve the siege, but Guo Huai knows that Hao Zhao does not have many men and horses in his hands, and once he gets out of the pass, it will be given for nothing.

He gritted his teeth, greeted Zheng Gan's family again in his heart, and hurriedly looked for Du Xian's location.

"General Yu, Du Shangshu fell for Zheng Gan's trick and has been captured in the city."

Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, Guo Huai was still dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

Du Xian is generous, although he is strong in martial arts, he is not very good at fighting, while Guo Huai's martial arts are usually proficient in strategy, and the two have been supporting each other since the beginning of the battle of Hanzhong, and they are the most tacit comrades-in-arms.

Now that Du Raid is in the hands of the Han army, Guo Huai has been calm, and now he is actually a little messed up.

"Who is the Shu general in the city, please come out and answer!"

When the red sun was headed, Guo Huai couldn't open his eyes because of the dazzling eyes, and he shouted loudly to the city three times before a lazy voice came from above.

"Guo Huai, right..."

In this tone, apart from the commander of the Han army, Zhao Hao, the biggest enemy this time, Guo Huai couldn't think of anyone else.

He said loudly: "Champion Hou actually knows the cheap name below, Huai is really overjoyed. ”

Zhao Hao held the arrow battlements in the city with both hands, and said with a smile: "General Boji has excellent skills, although he is famous, he really has the talent to serve the country through the world.

In the past, you were in the occupied area, and you didn't have to choose your own future, but now that my handsome heavenly soldiers are here, it's time for you to return anyway. ”

Guo Huai smiled contemptuously and said: "It has not yet been decided who will kill the deer, Huai still has 20,000 elites, since the champion Hou is so worthy of being below, it is better to lead the army again and fight with you!" ”

Guo Huai's voice trembled slightly, Zhao Hao heard the panic in his heart, and smiled: "General Boji, do you think that I pounced on you from such a distance, and this big net is open, but it will let you escape?" ”

"It's not a secret, Zheng Gan is our person, your every move has long been detected by us, and I know that you are now poor and short of food."

"Boji, I didn't bring many people with me on this Northern Expedition, but I first cut the horse and then lowered Zhang, and now Zhang He has also descended, I have time to play with you here."

"If you want to fight again, then fight again, you will be wiped out anyway."

Zhang will be lowered? How is this possible! Zhang He... It is impossible for Zhang He to surrender!

"Champion Hou Xinkou, I'm afraid it's not for the way of the general, right?"

"Say I'm bragging? Hehe, okay, then you can tell me, where is Zhang Liangzhou's iron cavalry, and where is Zhang He's elite soldiers in Guanzhong? ”

Zhao Hao patted the arrow stack hard, and said proudly: "I, Zhao Hao, have been edicted to beg for thieves, since the Northern Expedition, those who should be broken, and those who are hit are served, just like the beginning of the Guangwu Expedition.

You rely on the soldiers to be able to fight, and you think that you can win the world, but you don't know that the incense of the Han Dynasty is not extinguished, and the heavenly soldiers have the help of the gods, and it is naturally easy to destroy you. ”

Guo Huai naturally refused to believe what Zhao Hao said, but his presence here in person was already the best proof.

There was Zhang who threatened Tianshui's flank before, and Zhao Hao didn't dare to let go of the expedition, but now that he is here, it means that the danger of the flank has been lifted.

Could it be that this kid is really blessed by the gods, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of Great Wei have been killed by him? This...

His face gradually lost its color, and became a miserable gray.

The Han still has a huge influence in the hearts of all the people in the world, and the Mandate of Heaven is almost rooted in the depths of everyone's minds, not to mention those big-headed soldiers who have little culture, even scholars like Guo Huai still have a little fear of the Han in their hearts-

Now this fear is growing.

"Champion Hou believes in ghosts and gods?"

Zhao Hao spread his hands and said, "If General Boji doesn't believe it, why do you have to say so much?"

Now there are only two ways in front of you, either you will be annihilated on the spot, or you will go to Hanzhong to be annihilated, anyway, no matter how you go, you will not be able to escape the possibility of being annihilated.

If General Berji is not convinced, it is better to attack the city himself to practice your loyalty to your puppet court! ”

Guo Huai was silent.

When he sent troops, he strongly opposed Cao Zhen's desperate plan, and now that he was swept away by Zhao Hao, he was helpless.

"Champion Hou, according to "Wei Law", if I wait, I will be killed, even so, Hugh blame Huai is desperate.

Listen to my commands, siege the city! ”

Guo Huai didn't know what he thought, but since there was no way out, he could only fight to the death.

The Wei army lacked a large number of siege equipment, but they won because of the large number of people, Guo Huai received information that Zhao Hao's main force in the Northern Expedition was only 30,000, and he bet that even if Zhao Hao recruited rebels all the way, it would be too late to mobilize and organize an army of this size, hoping to make a gap in Sanguan with his own crowd tactics.

Although the hope is very slim, Guo Huai is still unwilling to live up to the trust of the imperial court, Lao Tzu is the assassin of Yongzhou, so he cannot be knocked down by the enemy on the land of Yongzhou.

He is usually good to the soldiers, even if they are in a desperate situation, these proud Wei soldiers are not willing to admit defeat like this, under Guo Huai's order, the vanguard has begun to slowly rush towards the Sanguan city wall, and the follow-up troops are not idle, and began to cut down trees on the spot, preparing to make siege equipment.

Zhao Hao's sneak attack on Sanguan was small, and when he saw Guo Huai's army coming, he was really a little timid, this operation was originally a mistake in and out, and Guo Huai was not fooled, and he could only defend it now.

He took his longbow and was about to bend it to fire, when one of the people next to him suddenly stretched his neck and shouted, "Stop, listen to me!" ”

His voice was loud, like an explosion on the ground, and Wei Jun was stunned for a moment, and he really stopped immediately.

"Don't fight!"

The person who spoke was Du Xian, his face was full of exhaustion, he stood at the head of the city and waved his arms vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Boji, let your people retreat, if you continue to attack, don't blame me for not thinking about my comrades!" ”

"Zixu?" Guo Huai never expected that Du Xi would stand side by side with Zhao Hao, he strode forward and shouted, "Zixu, what are you doing?" ”

Zhao Hao didn't let people tie up Du Xian, he still stood at the head of the city, holding the arrow stack with both hands, and said loudly down: "Boji, don't fight, don't make senseless sacrifices."

Now that Sanguan is controlled by the champion Hou, you have absolutely no natural ability to escape, these sons are raised by their parents, they are all kind and kind, they do not die on the battlefield to protect the family and defend the country, but die here, isn't it painful for the relatives, and fast for the enemy! ”

Guo Huai was stunned for a moment, and then scolded loudly: "Du Xi, you actually speak for Shu Kingdom, I really misjudged you."

My Dawei Erlang, I am not afraid of fighting Hu Lu, but I am afraid of Shu Kou's arrogance?

I thought that you Du Zixu was not afraid of death back then, and you would be a hero in the world, but I didn't expect you to behave like this, so you were captured by Shu Kou, so you were busy wagging your tail and begging for mercy to please the new master.

Don't speak again, or I will know you, but the longbow of my son will not recognize you! ”

When Cao Cao had just welcomed back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Du Xi defected to Cao Cao and served as the magistrate of Xi'e County under him.

During his tenure, he mobilized the people to reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy, and personally participated in the suppression of bandits, so that the small county town gradually regained its vitality.

Later, Liu Biao's 10,000 troops attacked, Du Biao let the people flee quickly, and led 50 officials to Qingzhuang Palace, 50 people killed Liu Biao 100 people, and covered the people to leave at the cost of almost the entire army.

Guo Huai originally thought that Du Raid had always been strong and would definitely fight Zhao Hao to the end, but he didn't expect Du Raid to stand on Zhao Hao's side.

Zhao Hao didn't expect Du Raid to actually stand on his side, only to see Du Raid nodding at him, and continued to speak: "Boji, I voted for Cao Gong back then, because Cao Gong welcomed Emperor Han and was ready to pacify the world.

That Liu Biaosui is a relative of the Han family, but he is divided into one side and resists the imperial court, and he comes to attack, so I naturally have to defend it desperately. ”

"Since the champion Hou led his troops to the Northern Expedition, Qiu has not committed any crimes, this matter is well known, what did the Great Wei Imperial Court do in order to expel the Han army?

Now Chang'an's taxation and forced labor are amazing, widows have to do military quarters again, forced to marry, and Hu Lu is constantly being conscripted into the Central Plains...... Even if we fight fiercely here, Mo Nan's Kebineng will take the opportunity to go south and then plunder and annex the state! ”

"Boji, you are from Bingzhou, you and Wang Ling, Jia Kui, Wei Qi, and Pei Qian are all famous people in Bingzhou, and you are most familiar with those Hu people, are you willing to watch these sons and women die on the battlefield, so that Hu Lu is rampant and the people are displaced?"

Zhao Hao took the opportunity to say: "Guo Huai, Ru Shiju and Zhou, at the beginning of that year, filial piety and honesty, should also have the heart of Kuang to support the Han family and support the community."

The Han family is in decline, the world is in turmoil, and you are attached to Cao Cao, which is really helpless, but now, when the Holy Son of Heaven is on the throne again, you are still willing to help the Emperor to fight against the heavenly soldiers, so you will do rebellion.

You are fighting to the death today, but you are full of blood, thinking that you are heroic and righteous, but for a thousand years, when you talk about your affairs today, it is just against the stubbornness of the court and the rebellion of the Han family.

Do you deserve such infamy? ”

Guo Huai opened his mouth to refute, but these Cao Wei courtiers had all been mixed in the court of the Han Dynasty before, and no one dared to say that they didn't take the Han seriously at all, which would make Zhao Hao wear a big hat and a face, and he could only be helpless.

Looking at the soldiers around, they were all panicked, waiting for Guo Huai's decision. Most of these grassroots generals were born in the state and were Guo Huai's children, and they were frightened by Zhao Hao, and they immediately worried about their families.

They fought to the death with Zhao Hao here, almost no chance of victory, and after death, they only got the name of a chaotic minister and thief, in this case, why continue to fight for the Great Wei, the Han army that erected Zhao Hao also took the name of carelessness, even if they surrendered, they were absolutely famous.

Guo Huai hesitated for a long time, Du Xi sighed in the city, and said: "Boji, how do you decide today, as long as you can explain to Wang Situ and Guo Sinong under Jiuquan in the future." ”

Guo Huai shuddered, he lowered his head in pain and thought for a long time, and finally slowly got off the horse, and walked a few steps forward, until he came within the range of the Han army's bows and arrows.

He slowly knelt on the ground, as if he had suddenly aged dozens of years, and buried his body in the dark shadow of the city wall.

"The sin will be Guo Huai, willing to surrender!"
